When is an extraction needed?
Removing a tooth that cannot be saved
An extraction may be recommended for a tooth with severe decay, a fracture, advanced gum disease, or a wisdom tooth causing pain or crowding. We always assess whether the tooth can be saved first.
Simple and surgical extractions
The right technique for each tooth
Simple extractions remove visible teeth with local anesthesia. Surgical extractions are used for impacted or broken teeth, such as wisdom teeth, and may require a small incision.
Costs, appointments and recovery
Plan your extraction around your stay
The cost depends on the type of extraction and the number of teeth. We explain your recovery and aftercare in English and schedule a follow-up check before you fly home.
Recovery after an extraction
Most patients recover in a few days. We give you written aftercare instructions and advise you on flying after the procedure.
Replacing the missing tooth
If needed, we can plan a dental implant, bridge or denture to replace the extracted tooth.
